全书包含两个部分。《克林索尔的最后夏天》是黑塞创作于1919年的中篇小说。彼时一战刚刚结束，世界尚未从混乱中恢复，千万士兵、战俘和民众，从多年僵化统一的顺服中，回归既向往又恐惧的自由。有些年轻人在童年时被战争拖走，现在“回归”了，却必须面对一个完全陌生的现实世界。而对于 黑塞这样的“老人”，那些曾被高度认同的世界观已成了可笑荒唐的明日黄花。一切都变得可疑，令人不安惶恐。在这样一个夏天，一个告别的夏天，充满力量与光芒、诱惑与魅力，弥漫南方阳光与葡萄酒香气的日子，画家克林索尔化身李太白，与他的好友杜甫、路易、亚美尼亚占星师，一同漫游，饮酒，辩论。最终在夏末，用尽生命所有的燃料，完成了最终的画作。 第二部分《漫游》是黑塞创作的散文和诗歌集。 诺贝尔文学奖得主黑塞自传式作品，国内首度翻译集结”，继《悉达多》《园圃之乐》后，你不可错过的大师之作。 本书内容关于夏日、颜色、梦境，以及葡萄酒、诗歌和艺术；或许是黑塞最具想象力的作品，文字如调色盘般交织迷离。 在本书中，你不仅能见到黑塞本人，还有李太白、杜甫、亚美尼亚占星师。但无论你是懵懂少年，还是沉静老者，都能在本书中找到属于你的自画像。
Author
Many works, including Siddhartha (1922) and Steppenwolf (1927), of German-born Swiss writer Hermann Hesse concern the struggle of the individual to find wholeness and meaning in life; he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1946. Other best-known works of this poet, novelist, and painter include The Glass Bead Game , which, also known as Magister Ludi, explore a search of an individual for spirituality outside society. In his time, Hesse was a popular and influential author in the German-speaking world; worldwide fame only came later. Young Germans desiring a different and more "natural" way of life at the time of great economic and technological progress in the country, received enthusiastically Peter Camenzind , first great novel of Hesse. Throughout Germany, people named many schools. In 1964, people founded the Calwer Hermann-Hesse-Preis, awarded biennially, alternately to a German-language literary journal or to the translator of work of Hesse to a foreign language. The city of Karlsruhe, Germany, also associates a Hermann Hesse prize.
